Baby Updates...

We had another ultrasound last week and these boys are growing FANTASTICALLY! They are still growing just as a single baby would and measure on or within a day of due date.

Baby A....
* Still moves more than Baby B and is a pretty spunky little guy
* Cooperated this time and didn't take over an hour just to get his stats (yay!)
* Still in a head down position on R side of abdomen
* Measured at 2 lbs 3 oz and measured with a due date of Nov. 17th (my actual due date)
Baby B....
* Has moved from transverse under my ribs to the L side of my abdomen and was in head down position at ultrasound
* Held still for measurements, but wouldn't move enough for a good 4D pic. He was sucking his thumb and kept his little face tucked down like "Don't bother me, trying to sleep here!"
* Measured at 2 lbs 5 oz with a due date of Nov. 16th
Although both babies were head down at the ultrasound, I had an appt today and they were both breech. Go figure. Basically, I have a 40% chance of being able to deliver them, so here's to hoping!!! They are starting to have more "patterned" sleep/wake cycles. They are actually only awake at the same time a couple of times a day (usually at like 10:30 or 11 at night being one of those times), but that will change when they arrive and Mommy makes them wake up together :) I feel about 8 months prego and have now moved on to new stretch marks. Awesome! Overall, the babies are growing GREAT and for that I am so thankful! My contractions have recently increased, but my blood pressure is still super low, so that is good. I am now done working, so I just really try to remember it's going to be very important to take it easy and listen to my body.

Haddyn and Stets are really excited for babies. Haddyn has finally made the connection between the movement in my belly being real babies, Stetson doesn't have a clue what is about to rock his world. Haddyn still calls them Sawyer and Ryder and Stets just likes to talk to them and kiss them through my belly button. Apparently it's like a microphone for him. Haddyn lifted up my shirt to show our neighbors how squishy the babies are last week. That was awesome. We are now friends on a WHOLE NEW LEVEL. :) Gotta love that sweet little girl. She brightens every day for me. She will start preschool in a week and I can't believe it. Another day, another time. She may kill me some day for posting this, but this is just a little bit of Haddyn being Haddyn. Who else do you know that looks THAT comfy on the toilet? :)

New Bed, Baby Shower & Belly Pic

Big title, I know. I am not great at doing a lot of little posts, so here is one big one :)

First off, we have a new addition to our family this week. Bunk beds. Yes, this has been a big deal around here. We had to let Haddyn think this was all her idea to have bunk beds in her room with her on top and Stetson on bottom. She has NEVER wanted to share her room or space, EVER, so this was a very big deal. We are a week into the transition today and Stets has been great. He goes to bed as easy as he always has and doesn't get out of bed until someone comes to get him, as if he was still in his crib. Sure, they wake each other up occasionally at nap time or in the morning, but overall, he hasn't noticed any difference. Haddyn, on the other hand, decided on the 3rd night that she wanted a bed on bottom in a room by herself. ha,ha It has been a bit of an adjustment for my change-hating daughter. That's okay...she will survive and this little adjustment period (that I knew would come) will be done and over with before two new little adjustments enter her world. :) The cutest part is that Stetson switches his pillow during nap and night time. This pic was at nap, but at night his head is where it is supposed to be. ha,haNext up is the baby shower my Mom and sister threw for me on the 13th. It was a lot of fun! Thanks to all of those who attended and for those of you who did not, I will be expecting my present in the near future. HA!! J/K No, but really, it was a good time had by all and we got some great stuff. Here are some pics--
My friend Erica took apart two "It's A Boy" signs and made this: Very cute and creative!The Shrine of Kelli (and presents) :)Haddyn thinking, "Which should I pick first??"Gold....My bro Shon wrapped this box of diapers in a receiving blanket using safety pins. Then he made a "bow" out of the socks. So cute I couldn't even unwrap it. (there was a crack that wasn't covered on the bottom, so I could see it was diapers without unwrapping it) Don't worry, when the babies come I will move the cute box off of the dresser and use the gold inside.MMMMM--one plate for each baby....Last, but not least...here are some new belly pics from just over a week ago at 26 1/2 weeks.

Baby A & Baby B

I finally put the cd in my computer to upload the ultrasound photos from a couple of weeks ago only to find out he saved some of the most random pics to the cd and a lot of the ones he had printed were missing. Hmm. Oh well...he did save all of the 4D ones, which we had never had before, so I'll post a couple of each of each baby!

Baby A.....
*Very hyper and forceful with his movements.
*Acts like his sister did en-utero
*Has been in my hip since the second he was conceived and is finally too big to stay tucked down so low
*Laying head down along the right side of my abdomen, head just under belly button, feet just under right side of my ribs
*Estimated weight 1 lb 3 oz at 23 weeksScott's nose??Two hands in front of faceSucking his thumb
Baby B.....
*Moves very gently and only when he really needs/wants to (does not seem to enjoy inflicting pain) ha,ha
*Acts a lot like Stets did en-utero
*Has always been transverse
*Laying transverse directly under my ribs with his head on the left side and feet on the right
*Estimated weight at 1 lb 2 oz at 23 weeksKelli's lips??Eyes, nose, lips, and hand
